Abstract

A brief review is presented of the main physical processes in laser-produced plasmas. This is followed by illustrations taken from recent work at the S.R.C. Central Laser Facility of the use of X-ray and visible streak cameras for fast time resolved measurements of implosion and interaction phenomena in laser-produced plasmas.
